Nicely done. Lovely composition and eye contact. Nice DOF. The texture has come out really well, can almost feel it. How close to the lizard were you?

This was taken at the macro end of the lens. The lens info suggests I was 1.5m from the Subject.

Good that you could go closer. With these subjects you have to be careful about the depth of field. The out of focus patches in the rock are a bit distracting.

Cheers,
